Topic: NAGRA SD now has limiters

[John Willett]

The Nagra SD now has limiters.

It was added in the firmware update.

The latest firmware is v1.2.0.12 and this includes the limiter and the ability to change the rear switch to switch on or of either the Limiter or the AGC.

You need the latest firmware - v1.2.0.12 - which you can download from the Nagra website HERE - go to "Support" and select "SD" - the manual will also need to be downloaded as it's been updated to include the updates.

NB: some updates may change your settings, so make sure that you take a note of them before the update and re-set them after the update.

After the update you will see in "Record settings" that "AGC" has been changed to "AGC/Limiter".

In this section you can set the:
"Target level" to -3dBFS, -6dBFS or -9dBFS
"Attack Time" to Short or Long
(default is -6dBFS/short)

You can also set the rear switch (marked AGC) to either switch AGC on or off, or to switch the Limiter on or off.

So - Nagra have obviously listened to user comments and have included the limiter in the latest firmware.

I have just discovered that I am about the first to get v1.2.0.12 as it was only put on the website today. 

The "Software Bulletin" that lists all the recent firmware updates and the improvements included is HERE.

The new, updated, user manual is on the Nagra website now - direct link is HERE.
